YES!!!!!!
That's exactly what need to be done for ONE of the bushing.
I'm looking for a rear knuckle (i have a spare arm) so i can do a pictoral write-up. I didn't get a chance to snap pics when i did the install for my SVT.
It's certainly nothing to be afraid of.
One thing to note is that the bushing sleve DOES NOT get removed for the arm bushing (i have pic of this part), however MUST be removed in the knuckle, it becomes very aparent why this is when you do the install. In adition i've got a method that eliminates the need for a press. Basically you need an air chissle, a holesaw, and a the right bolt and washer combo(you'll see)
IF anyone has a set of bushing, knuckles and arms they'ld be willing to ship i'll do the install at NO cost an use your parts for a how to to benifit CEG. All i ask is that you pay shipping both ways.

I can't give up my car that long, but if you'd give me a write up I'll do the job and take pictures. I don't have an air chisel or holesaw, but I do have a press - wouldn't that be a lot easier?

I have knucles and the front (rear lead) arms off the car, but I really want them powder coated.

same here though they are an ass ache to install in the knuckles. burning them out is the only way to go and its smoky fun.

Not sure which ES kit you have but the rr control arm kit I have used in the past is for each end of the trailing arm - part no. 6 in the diagram. 1 bushing goes in the knuckle and the other in the trailing arm.
I did this install and subsequently removed them due to the increased harshness.
If you post the ES p/n I can confirm.

Press would work....just a little slower and more cumbersome than the air chissle.

I think it took all of about 3 minutes a piece my way, so simple you'll crap yourself.

Looks like Ohsigmachi and I will be working together to get this how-to done.

I'll be mounting all the bushings whenever in about a month which is when I suspect I'll mount the Bat Euro kit (whenever CTA get's it from BAT), so I'll document whatever process we use if it proves to be effective!
